'''Libertarian Monarchism''' ('''LibMon''') is an economically right, civically libertarian, culturally variable, but generally right-wing and [[File:Monarch.png]] [[:Category:Monarchists|Monarchist]] ideology which believes that a libertarian society should be ruled over by a [[File:Conmon.png]] [[Constitutional Monarchism|Constitutional Monarchy]].

==History==
The history of the Libertarian Monarchism is relatively short, as it emerged in the late 20ᵗʰ century as a response to the perceived failures of both [[File:Dem.png]] liberal democracy and [[File:Soc-h.png]] socialism. However, the roots of this ideology can be traced back to [[File:Clib.png]] classical liberal and [[File:Libertarian.png]] libertarian thinkers such as John Locke, [[File:Hayek.png]] Friedrich Hayek, and [[File:Murray N Rothbard.png]] Murray Rothbard, who emphasized the importance of individual liberty and limited government.

The concept was first handled by [[File:Hans Hermann Hoppe.png]] Hans-Hermann Hoppe in his book "Democracy: The God That Failed" in 2001. Hoppe argued that a monarchy, in which the monarch has limited powers and the government is strictly limited, is better at protecting individual liberty and limiting government power than a democracy.

Since then, several thinkers have contributed to the development of Libertarian Monarchism as an ideology. One of the most notable is [[File:PLB-Liechtenstein.png]] Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein, who wrote a book titled "The State in the Third Millennium" in which he advocated for a specific type of monarchy in which the monarch serves as a neutral arbiter of disputes between different groups in society.

=== [[File:EvKL.png]] '''Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihnism''' ===
'''Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn''' (1909–1999) was an Austrian aristocrat, political scientist, and prolific commentator whose work critiqued modern [[File:AntiDem.png]]mass democracy and [[File:Antitot.png]]totalitarian ideologies. Born into the Austro-Hungarian nobility, he grew up during the dissolution of the empire, which profoundly shaped his commitment to aristocratic principles, classical liberalism, and Christian libertarianism. His life bridged tumultuous periods in European history, including the rise of Nazism, World War II, and the Cold War, all of which informed his worldview.

Kuehnelt-Leddihn’s early experiences with authoritarianism instilled a deep opposition to [[File:Anticommunism.png]]communism, [[File:AntiNazism.png]]Nazism, socialism, and totalitarianism in all forms. He was particularly wary of mass democracy, which he believed eroded individual liberty and undermined social hierarchies grounded in tradition and moral order. This skepticism of democratic populism and centralized power can be traced to his admiration for the [[File:Helv.png]]Helvetic model of Swiss federalism and his studies of the [[File:AmericanModel_1.png]]American Model, both of which emphasized limited government, decentralization, and the protection of individual rights within stable institutional frameworks.

His intellectual training was steeped in the [[File:Austrobert.png]]Austrian School of economics, which reinforced his belief in free markets, property rights, and [[File:ReactInd.png]]individualism. Kuehnelt-Leddihn combined this with [[File:Aristotle.png]]Aristotelianism, seeing political order as a natural hierarchy reflecting human virtue and reason. This foundation underpinned his critique of socialism and his advocacy for [[File:Reactlib.png]]reactionary liberalism and [[File:Reactlib-icon.png]]reactionary libertarianism, a philosophical stance that seeks to reconcile classical liberal freedoms with respect for inherited social structures and moral authority.

Throughout his career, Kuehnelt-Leddihn consistently emphasized the role of [[File:Arist.png]]elites in maintaining civilizational stability. He argued for a noocracy—a system where governance is guided by those with knowledge, virtue, and wisdom—contrasting sharply with the egalitarian impulses of modern democracy. His writings frequently reference [[File:AlexisdeTocqueville.png]]Tocqueville, analyzing the dangers of majority tyranny, bureaucratic expansion, and cultural homogenization. At the same time, he engaged with [[File:Neobert.png]]American institutions and ideals selectively, praising constitutional safeguards and federalism while critiquing what he saw as the excesses of political egalitarianism and populist policies.

[[File:Xbert.png]]Christian libertarianism was central to his moral and political reasoning. Kuehnelt-Leddihn viewed religion, particularly Christianity, as essential to grounding civic virtue and restraining state overreach. He criticized secularist movements and revolutionary ideologies that sought to replace traditional moral frameworks with abstract political ideals. This moral lens informed both his opposition to totalitarian regimes and his advocacy for aristocracy, which he saw as both a stabilizing social force and a repository of ethical guidance.

By synthesizing elements of aristocratic governance, classical liberalism, and Austrian economic theory, Kuehnelt-Leddihn articulated a distinctive critique of modernity. His work remains influential in conservative, libertarian, and reactionary circles, particularly among scholars and policymakers who value the interplay of moral order, institutional restraint, and individual liberty as counterweights to collectivist and statist ideologies.

He loves his guns and swords, his money bags, and killing commies. Also, he loves killing those cowards that thread on the royal family.
